  the dog has been rushed to the emergency vets!

  i am really worried... she had started to improve and now has become seriously ill... took her to the vets yesterday and they think her stomach is ulcerated... gave her injections and medicine to take at home... today she is even worse, she hasn't eaten for 4 days... when she does eat she vomits it back up... she is also drinking vast amounts of water.... i phoned the vets and they wanted her in immediately... it's after ten pm, so they must think she is urgent.

  carrot has taken her and i'm waiting by the phone for news.... just want her well... this is awful!

  Awww Skeeter i'm really sorry for your loss....

  Both Carrot and I have discussed that if it comes to the worse and they contact us as to what to do, they are to let her go... I refuse to have her brought back round to carry on suffering if she will have to be put down in a matter of days/weeks... She would have the pain of recovering from surgery plus whatever it is that is making her really ill... If she is suffering (like you) I will not keep her alive, becuase I would only be doing that for me. I am sure she will survive and that what is making her soo ill will be cured... I can't think of the worse, it's too difficult to deal with.

  I have asked a friend for advice as her brother is a police officer... Even if we had video footage and saw something come over the fence, we would have to prove it's her. And then prove that whatever she had thrown was poisoned. Then if we had the poisoned meat we would have to prove that it was from her and not what we had planted to get her in trouble... Althought the UK has laws to protect the animals, it's a very hard to prove that someone is hurting them no matter if you have seen them with your own eyes or footage of them doing it.

  It's like the fiasco in Essex uk where an abbatoir was filmed torturing the animals before killing them. There was footage and yet it was thrown out of court because the footage was obtained without the abbatoir knowing... The UK is a joke!

  its the height of the summer here and i think my eldery cat is not drinking enough.

  his urine smells strong like human patients that i used to work with did when they hadn't drunk enough.. hes got fresh water down all the time, but hes not touching it?.

  Is the water cold?? Sometimes when they are old the cold temp of the water hurts their stomach... Put the dish in the sun to warm it. Plus the sun on the water is very healing.

  Cats are fussy creatures... I hsd three growing up and if something wasn't right they soon let us know. lol

  Went to my first meeting today anonymously!

  hi everyone.. jack and i decided we would go to his local kingdom hall this morning.

  although i have no interest anymore in being a jw, i think its still nice to have regular bible discussions, etc, which can give you something spiritual to think about each week.

  i love it and i think its damn good for you.. today, jack and i walked in, a little nervous, but were greeted and welcomed like friends.

  If you like your bible yes... As in something ''spiritual'' you won't get that at the KH.

  I love it and I think its damn good for you.

  I love ''spirituality'' but you won't find it in a KH.

  Today, Jack and I walked in, a little nervous, but were greeted and welcomed like friends.

  They viewed you as fresh meat... Ones they can count their time with.

  It was an incredible experience! The talk and Watchtower were spiritualy stimulating too.

  Are you certain you were at a KH?? They are getting in your head!

  Now i look back at it, I see why new ones are drawn to it. It was a lovely experience, but it makes me totaly sad.

  *sigh* You are still indoctrinated. Give it time then your eyes will be opened.

  The people are so nice, so genuine, so kind, but unfortunately, if they were to learn who we truly are, we'd be shunned instantly.

  So these ARE NOT nice, genuine or kind are they?? If they were you WOULD NOT be shunned or treated as disgusting perverts or put on the same level as pedo's... And yes I have heard dubbies say that about homosexuals and pedo's...

  There is just no easy way with this organisation is there! Its either all or nothing!

  Give them nothing.

  I explained to Jack as we walked home that of course, I know where i stand in terms of the organisation. I DONT believe it is the truth, but i enjoy the way it encourages bible study and discussion in the meetings

  *Sigh* It doesn't encourage ''bible reading'' that is not allowed. You have to ''study'' the WT lit. I ahve friends who were d'fed becuase they ''read'' the bible........

  Thank you Skeeter.

  Shelby there is emergency treatment available... I'm not sure why they are waiting until then... They did say if she took a turn for the worse she was to go in immediately... Perhaps they keep their emergency slots open for animals in a life or death situation.

  White dove I don't think so... She is very fussy over what she eats... She turned her nose up at a friends kebab a few years back... We found it hilarious that even the dog wouldn't eat our friends kebab! Carrot is convinced that she has something stuck, who knows?? We will find out tomorrow.

  Me to FF... She had a tablespoon of pureed baby food a few hours ago and so far has kept it down... Been coughing but no vomiting.

  Fingers crossed... It's a countdown of 35 hours before she has to be at vets. I just hope they can treat her.

  Thank you Zoiks... It's not a happy sprouty household at the moment... *sigh*

  especially B'Sprout, have [some] peace through this.

  Shelby Babysprout is a wreak! She has been stropping, shouting, banging about making the dog jump. When the dog jumps she starts coughing and being sick. She hasn't slept properly beause she keeps coughing and whenever she fell asleep babysprout woke her up... We tried to calm her down but to no avail... Then she went all funny and developed a migraine... She has only had two in her life and they have been the result of great upset... Medicine and bed and she is now out cold, so i'm hoping that when she wakes she will feel better.

  I am dreading Monday because if anything happens I don't think babysprout is going to cope.

  Carrot is convinced there is something stuck that is causing the vomiting and coughing... He is convinced she is going to be fine... I just hope he is right.

  Peace my sister and thank you for your kind words

  I was really hoping things have improved. I hope the poor dog can be helped. Sorry for all that your family and what the dog is going through.

  Emptyinside we really thought she would get better... Got everything crossed she will get through this... She is tough so you never know.

  I hope your puppy pulls through. It is terrible what has been happening to her. I feel sorry too for what your poor doggy and you & your family are going through.

  Thank you. Got everything crossed.

  I hope she gets through this and soon, though, and remember... we're all here

  Thanks Shel... There will be either great joy or complete despair on Monday... I'm hoping for the first. They have ruled out diabetes... I think they know whats wrong but are not letting on. I have everything crossed that she survives.

  My brother just lost two dogs over the last 10 months.

  MrsJ that is tragic! How do you even begin to cope with that pain... One is bad enough but losing both within a short time is awful...

  I understand how you're feeling, and I hope she pulls through also. Give babysprout a hug for me too; she must be so worried too!

  Thanks Tammy... Babysprout is not coping... She absolutely adores the dog... We bought her when we had been married for six months, so Babysprout has never known what it's been like without her... She was crying this morning and keeps asking if the dog is going to die... What can I say?? I just say that she is tough and the vets are trying to save her and take her pain away. She will be inconsolable if anything happens.

  We never had another problem with rat poison in tuna. It's too bad you couldn't do something to shake up that old crone, as well as make her pay for your dog's vet bills.

  Unfortunately we have nothing to get the old biddy on... The dog is not allowed outside unattended and I have been vocal on how ill she has been and that it's suspected poisoning... The old woman is hiding... If she was innocent surely she would come out and demand to know what I was getting at! She is vocal enough all the other times... But we have nothing to go on. *sigh*

  The good news is your cats were saved... Might be too late for our dog.

  Thanks Talesin.

  Peace
